Pedal Power

When I was a child my parents decided to treat me and my sisters to new bikes.We would each get one once a month starting with my middle sister (I am the eldest).It was a massive treat for us as we had never had new bike.I went so excitedly to the bike shop to look at bikes and decide what I wanted.My sister wanted a pink bike that had different gears and was classed as a girl’s racer.I wanted a fabulous proper road bike (boy’s racer) that had drop handles and millions of gears.It was just like my older cousins bike, who I looked up to, always thinking he was cool and so grown up (he was only 3 years older then me!).My sister was so excited when my mum and dad came home with the bike she had dreamed of.The following month when it was my turn I could hardly contain my excitement.When the bike arrived I opened it excitedly only to find an identical pink bike that my sister had.I hid my disappointment as I knew that it meant so much to my parents and never told them of my disappointment.Don’t get me wrong I loved riding that bike and we were like best buds but I still remember the disappointment of it not being the one I picked.

So this time I was getting the bike I always wanted.No one could talk me out of it or put doubt in my mind.I picked a small women’s bike and this time not in pink.I have been on it a few times now and think I am falling in love!

When my mum saw it she said, why have you picked a blue mans bike with those horrible handles.You should have gone for a pink one!

About Me

My name is Lisa, I live in England and I am in my 30’s. I am striving to get fit and eat well in this ever increasing crazy world of convince food and lazy living. I hope this blog will help me to stay on track and keep me motivated. I enjoy good, tasty, wholesome food and the odd glass of wine or two! I run, cycle, swim and have joined a running club. I finally bit the bullet in 2014 and took part in my first ever Triathlon and Half Marathon. I loved it and plan to do more. I hope you enjoy my blog and we can share a recipe or two along the way.
